I want to say to my teammates who are entering the Draft and who I have played with over the past four or five years, I've enjoyed every second of it. Whatever team that they go to, the fans and the teammates are going to enjoy these guys just as much as I did. I enjoyed every memory that we had,   more...

Great article by the L.A. Times about USC head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll apparently rolls with an ex-gang member in South L.A. neighborhoods, trying to change the environment. And to make sure it's even more dangerous, he goes at midnight. I could make a lot of jokes about this, but after reading   more...

Yesterday my teammate Keith Rivers posted an article about our mentor, Ken Norton. Coach Norton was a great football player. Now he's able to coach us the way he played. We owe our success and accolades to him, and he helped transform how people look at USC. USC has been known as Running Back   more...

The USC quarterback has become college football's "it" position for this decade and rightfully so. Since 2001 the signal callers for the Trojans have included Heisman trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart as well as Rose Bowl MVP John David Booty. Starting next season the torch will be   more...

Ken Norton, Jr. has been both a coach and a mentor to me and my road dawg, Thomas Williams. We owe all of our success to him. He's taught us everything we know, and he's been there for us as a surrogate father since we're in college away from home, through the good times and the bad times. Thanks,   more...

The Minnesota Vikings traded up Sunday to select USC quarterback John David Booty in the fifth round of the NFL draft. Booty comes with plenty of polish and accuracy, but the Vikings said he will not start over Tavaris Jackson. Booty is plenty talented, but questions about his injury history and   more...

I'm pretty sure I could do 4.50, assuming it's measured in days, not seconds. These guys from USC do it a whole lot faster. Up-close-and-personal video from USC's Pro Day: Keith Rivers, Sedrick Ellis, Thomas Williams, Chauncey Washington, Sam Baker and Terrell Thomas.

USC defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis is a beast amongst men. He is projected as a top-10 pick in the draft, and this highlight video from USC's Pro Day suggests that the scouts are dead on the money. Whichever team pulls the trigger on this wrecking-ball run stuffer should ultimately be pleased with   more...

If you want to talk about speed, this year's WR draft class has just that. It's amazing to hear these guys' times that they put up at the Pro Days. I'm just glad I don't have to cover them. Keith and I talk about a few of the wide receivers that we've played against in the Pac-10 (DeSean Jackson   more...

"the book's accounting says $47,000 went directly to Bush out of the overall $291,000 that went to his family. That makes it hard to deny he knew what was going on. While the photo section lacks any photocopied receipts, bank statements, or otherwise, the Author's Note says that a website will   more...
